"Gu Lao Xian, your granddaughter is at the helipad on the mountain. I wonder if you would be interested in meeting her?"
At this point, Shen Jingyu understood that if he could sense the presence of the old man, then he would certainly hear what was being said.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, three men hurriedly emerged from the cave.
The leading elder had sharp eyes and addressed Shen Jingyu, "When did you start meddling in affairs that don't concern you?"
Shen Jingyu was somewhat surprised. This old man had secluded himself so thoroughly that he still seemed to know him so well. Did he truly not know about Zhu Man's existence?
Shen Jingyu replied, "I can't say I'm meddling; I'm merely fulfilling a request. Besides, Zhu Man is my brother's wife, so it's only natural for me to help."
Meanwhile, Zhu Man had already managed to find her way here.
"Uncle Da Jiu, Uncle Er Jiu," she greeted, as if she recognized them both.
Gu Tao confirmed Zhu Man's identity with just a glance. He looked her up and down and noted that her energy seemed very weak.
"You've suffered! Your mother really did give birth to you!" Gu Tao approached Zhu Man and, with a handshake, it felt as though he infused her with immense strength.
Shen Jingyu, an ordinary person, could see the connection between them.
Could such a family be something Shi Shao could withstand in the future? With just a flick of a finger, they could make him disappear without a trace.
It seemed that Emil's situation would soon be resolved!
Seeing that Zhu Man accepted Gu Tao's help without hesitation, Shen Jingyu felt reassured and chose to leave. However, this trip was certainly not in vain.
Before Shen Jingyu departed, Gu Tao handed him a small vial. "You finding me here is fortunate for you. You've protected my granddaughter; Lao Fu will consider this your reward."
"From your appearance, it seems there is someone in your family plagued by illness. Give them this elixir; everything depends on fate!"
Shen Jingyu was pleasantly surprised. "Gu Lao Xian is truly remarkable! I admire you greatly."
Gu Tao waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to owe anyone anything. He didn't have the time or energy to manage the multitude of people in this world.
"It’s merely a matter of fate!"
Zhu Man could sense that those stronger than her were far too many; thus, this elixir must be extraordinary.
"Shen," Gu Tao continued, "give one to each of the two elders later. If there are any differing reactions, feel free to contact me."
"As for Sister Su Xing, there's no need for her to take it; I am well aware of her condition."
Zhu Man felt a sense of reassurance in his heart. After expressing his gratitude, Shen Jingyu took the initiative to leave the place. From here on, it was a matter for Zhu Man and his family. Zhu Man's mother, Gulina, should be in that cave; they had preserved her body in a special way, keeping it intact. For them, being in a state of living death was akin to being frozen in time. With the emergence of Zhu Man, the heir to this bloodline, everything was bound to undergo a significant transformation.
When Shi Shao received the news, Zhu Man had seemingly vanished from the world, cutting off all communication with him. Unable to contain himself, Shi Shao complained to his brother: "Jing Yu, here I am, worrying about the palace affairs for him! He keeps calling me his Consort, yet after all this time, not a single word from him! The only message I got was for me to deal with Emil's child? Is that even something I can just handle?! How can he be so naive? Or is it that my mind just can't keep up with such a peculiar master?"
On the other end of the line, Shen Jingyu nodded seriously and said, "Your mind is indeed lagging behind."
"What did you say?" Shi Shao asked.
Shen Jingyu exchanged a knowing smile with his wife and remarked, "This just proves it!"
Finally, he sighed and said softly, "Brother! You've finally fallen in love!"
Shi Shao responded incredulously, "Is Shen Jingyu sick or something? How could he curse himself like that?"
As the call ended, Su Xing finally had some time to catch up with her old friend. While applying hand cream, she looked at Shen Jingyu earnestly and said, "Quickly tell me all the juicy details! How did these two end up like this? There must be some backstory!"
Shen Jingyu helplessly rubbed his forehead and replied, "It's late; you should get some rest! Besides, shouldn't you be more concerned about our upcoming wedding?"
With a wave of her hand, Su Xing dismissed his comment. "As for the wedding plans, I've realized I'm just an extra! Everything has been taken care of to perfection; it's hard to make any requests!"
"Of course not! Gossiping is much more interesting! Hurry up and tell me! If you don’t spill the beans soon, I won’t let you sleep!" Su Xing snuggled under the blanket with Shen Jingyu's arm around her, looking adorably persistent.
Shen Jingyu felt a wave of nostalgia as Su Xing finally returned to her cheerful self. He then placed his warm palm on her still-flat belly and began to speak softly. As he talked on, Su Xing gradually drifted off to sleep. He gently kissed her forehead before holding her close and falling into a deep slumber.
The next morning, Su Xing woke up from the warmth of his embrace as Shen Jingyu tenderly stroked her smooth hair.
Finally, it was no longer cold in the bed! Su Xing couldn't help but exclaim.
Shen Jingyu chuckled, "That won't happen again! I will stay with you until you get tired of me!"
Su Xing wrapped one arm around Shen Jingyu's neck while the other hand caressed his smooth Adam's apple. Just as he was about to speak, the phone next to them rang.
Shen Jingyu quickly grabbed Su Xing's wandering hand, giving him a warning look. "It's early in the morning; don't mess around!"
With a playful smile, Su Xing answered the phone. It turned out to be news that his little niece was about to be born! Du Meng had already been sent to the hospital, a few days ahead of her due date.
As an aunt, Su Xing knew he had to be there, so he hung up and quickly tidied up before heading out the door.
Upon reaching the entrance, Shen Jingyu suddenly remembered to ask, "What? Where are you going?"
Su Xing blinked awkwardly. "Did you not hear me just now? I said Du Meng is having a baby; I need to go to the hospital!"
Shen Jingyu's lips pressed into a thin line in resignation. He had heard Su Xing's affirmative response on the phone but hadn’t realized he hadn’t said anything more!
Had this pregnancy brain started showing already?!
"I'll drive! We can go to the hospital and you can get a check-up while we're at it!" Shen Jingyu recalled that Su Xing had been at home all this time, being taken care of by his aunt and grandmother, and they hadn't even taken any pictures of the baby yet. It was about time for that too.
After all, labor could take quite a while, and waiting around at home would just be idle time for Su Xing.
Once they arrived at the hospital, it was clear that many members of the Su family were already there—Su Bokan and his wife, Su Bo Ren's wife, and even Du Gang and his father.
Su Xing exchanged glances with Du Meng, keeping his demeanor calm. Shen Jingyu quickly took hold of Su Xing's hand and led him toward the examination room for a check-up.
Mrs. He Xiaoqing hesitated, wanting to accompany her daughter but also worried that her daughter-in-law might not have her mother there to care for her. As a mother-in-law, she didn’t want to let anyone down.
Fortunately, her daughter’s son-in-law was understanding. Shen Jingyu had everything arranged perfectly, so there was nothing more for her to worry about!
